I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

In two weeks it will be four years since we lost Doug to this disease. Four weeks from diagnosis to his death. I'll never get over it. This is the best news. Breaks my heart that Trump is defunding research like this

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Speaking from experience, I recommend a Klondike bar (No dishes or cleanup involved)

Among my friends I have coined the term "academic lady dinner" which is a bowl of cereal and a glass of wine. Because you can't bother to cook, but you still want a glass of wine. Academic lady dinner in 2024 might just be ice cream.
